My last 2 NEEDED features are oil/coolant Temps before she starts hauling. However I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible while not loosing effectiveness.

Any suggestions? I'm assuming stand alone gauges are going to be the cheapest, anyone used the autozone/O'Reilly gauges for thisI didn't see an oil temp here, but I also assume the water temp gauge can be used? It's not permanent because Christmas time will call for an SCT... heh

 

Obd II gauges wil be cheaper and read live data from the computer. You can get a scangauge form advanced auto for about $100 if you use code trt30 yo can buy online and pick it up in a store near you if you have one close and they have it in stock. You can also get one of the smartphone apps and a Bluetooth obd reader for cheaper than that there is Torque dashboss and maybe a coulple more. Then there is always the edge insight cts but that's pretty pricey.

 

Thanks Mike, will the scangauge show EOT and ECT without extra parts do you know?

 

Yea you just program in the codes for the gauges you want coolant temp should already be in there and you can add oil temp trans temp ficm voltage if you have a 6.0 you get the point.
